{"playerId":744,"percentChange":0,"averageDraftPosition":260,"percentOwned":0.3,"playerRaterSEASON":1.1,"fullName":"Jeremy Affeldt","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Few players are better examples of being much more valuable in real life than in fantasy. Affeldt has had an ERA below 3.00 in four of his six seasons with San Francisco, but his season high for strikeouts over that span is 57. A decade ago, 50-plus strikeouts would have been notable from a late-inning arm who was not getting saves, but in the current landscape, that kind of production does not move the needle in most fantasy leagues. Affeldt offers nice ratios and plenty of holds, if that is enough to warrant ownership in certain formats, but the upside here is limited, and he has a long track record of not factoring into the mix for saves in San Francisco. He will turn 36 in June and is in the final year of his contract with the Giants, leaving his future uncertain after 2015.","seasonId":2015,"date":"Tue Feb 10"},"positionRank":78}
